MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs have once again shaken up their front office ahead of the 2018-19 season.

Two weeks after taking over the role of team president, Dave Kowalchuk has been voted in to serve as the new general manager, and will also be taking on the role of director of hockey operations, a new position with the team. He joined the team as director of player personnel several months ago.

In a news release sent late Monday, the team confirmed board member Richard Fritzler will serve as team president, while Ted Breznik will be vice president.

Kowalchuk was serving as president after Calvin Foster stepped down from the role.
